rats stink, mice stink, african softs stink, gerbils, hamsters and all critters stink....we just get sued to it...

yes...people will say rats smell less...it's a different smell, maybe a little less ammonia soaked than mice...male mice do smell worse than females...I seperate the sexes in holding tanks...and the males smell alot worse....

....the general concensus will be,....rats are better on the nose......but if you don't keep up with it they all stink...

good luck...summer is coming....!....

...(I breed it all...and I am really sick of it...)...
